Gamers Guide: Make your Coronavirus Quarantined Time Productive

“Tough times ahead!” Yeah, that’s what every social animal is rebuking amidst the coronavirus pandemic. However, the stage, or rather your comfort seat beside the computer, is set. This is an interval to achieve the nostalgic merry sitting in front of your computer or console for hours and binge. Grind, grind & grind! A vast majority of the population is under lockdown, quarantine or under more severe circumstances and the ones that are blessed until now, face a plausible probability to encounter a similar state of affairs until the scientists discover a vaccine or a way to seize the pandemic outbreak.

Earlier this week, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic – a disease spread across the globe. China, the epicenter of coronavirus is perhaps under a tight rein, though the virus has fostered the rest of the world under an immense menace. As of now, 155,829 are affected by coronavirus while 5,814 have passed away. Coronavirus is inclined to affect people over the age of 50 or those suffering from other diseases.

The gamers, thumping teenagers and millennials are apparently less likely to be affected by the virus according to experts. However, the younger population can transmit the virus to senior citizens or those suffering from other diseases. Hence, even though you are under minimal threat, you need to take precise prevention to not let the virus spread through. Here’s how you can spend your quarantined time most effectively.

Clean your PC

Let us begin by admitting that we gamers are a bunch of lazy lads who would sit beside the desktop for hours but when it comes to rinsing (even bathing), we are hindmost. Since, a majority of us shall study or work from home amid the lockdown, cleaning our PC should be the foremost choice to begin with. Pick up a drenched cloth and begin by washing your mechanical keyboard, monitor, cabinet, etc. Heck, if I were you, I would further re-assemble my cabinet and get through the cable management.
